I will break it in four tiers: Tier 1- Fricking old malibu's that could warn you they are thefts(I'm in venezuela, a very insecure country) Tier 2- 90's cars that could be old or like new, 2000s cars also Tier 3- "Dead" Cars, i talk about beaters that are in some sort of mechanic but they kinda live there xd Tier 4- NEW cars, that are very rare to find, like the new Santa Fe, 2010s BMW,and some sort of muscle cars like the Mustang GT350R
